The majority of other languages have relatively few prepositions, each of which serving many different communication purposes. English is different in that it has dozens of prepositions, and very few of them follow any clear, consistent set of grammar rules. This book offers practical guidelines for correct preposition usage, and provides hundreds of examples that incorporate English prepositions in familiar contexts
